I’ve been paying attention to your recent emails about Debathena and making some things work for 18.04 so I thought I should talk about where I stand with Debathena on my EECS cluster machines.
Currently I’m still running 14.04 on EECS cluster machines since that’s the only one that supports debathena-workstation and debathena-thirdparty. I have a few machines running 16.04 with debathena-workstation but no debathena-thirdparty since that metapackage doesn’t work under 16.04. And I would love to know what folks did do make Debathena work for 18.04 on the dial-ups.
I need to meet with IS&T to know what, if anything, they intend to do with Debathena in the future. As one of you basically said in a previous email, I’m not doing anyone any favors by still running 14.04. I’d love to have debathena-workstation for 18.04. I most likely need debathena-login-graphical to be usable in the EECS clusters. Most of all, I need to figure what’s going to happen with Debathena so that I can figure out what to do for the labs.
This is where I stand at the moment.
